ALL STUDENTS:
If the attire is questionable, students are encouraged to show their evening wear to Ms. Calderon
beforehand to determine if it is Catholic School appropriate.
The determination of the appropriateness of student dress and grooming shall rest with the
principal and administrators.
Students and their dates who are non-compliant with the dress code will not be admitted to
the prom. No refunds will be given for dress code infractions in which result in students being
asked to leave.
